Paul Bisaccia, "The Great American Piano Revisited"
This concert is like no other because it includes new unpublished never before heard Gershwin treasures. Michael Feinstein gave Paul copies of the original unpublished Gershwin manuscripts to make the world premiere recordings. Also included are beloved favorites such as Sousa Marches and as a remembrance of this year's 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War, a new arrangement of "Battle Hymn of the Republic." Plus ragtime by Eubie Blake, Scott Joplin and Irving Berlin, including a celebration of the 100th anniversary of Berlin's "Alexander's Ragtime Band" with Paul's brand new arrangement.
